Product details
Overview
AT49F002T-90JI from Atmel is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) 5V-only in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 90 ns read access time, 10 µs typical byte programming, 10-second erase cycle, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It features sector architecture including a 16K-byte boot block with programmable lockout, two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K/128K bytes), used in embedded firmware storage and boot code retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002T-90JI datasheet, AT49F002T-90JI pinout, AT49F002T-90JI application, or AT49F002T-90JI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-ready availability details for industrial-grade Flash memory selection.
Technical Context
The AT49F002T-90JI implements a command-based software-controlled architecture for erase and program operations, using standard microprocessor timing with WE/CE/OE control lines. Its sector erase capability targets specific memory regions-boot block (3C000–3FFFFH), parameter blocks (3A000–3BFFFH, 38000–39FFFH), and main memory blocks (20000–37FFFH, 00000–1FFFFH)-without requiring high-voltage programming inputs.
Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibition (OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks writes). Boot block lockout is enforced via 6-cycle command sequence and can be overridden only by applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to RESET-functionality confirmed exclusive to AT49F002T variants.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT49F002T-90JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016 AE), with 1.27 mm pitch, 18.5 × 18.5 mm body, and lead finish suitable for reflow and wave soldering. Pin 1 is marked by index notch; pin 9 is DC (do not connect) per datasheet specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A14 used for software ID and command entry. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access; controls device selection on shared bus. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; used with CE to prevent bus contention; high-Z when deasserted. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges during command sequences and byte programming. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset halts operations and forces outputs to high-Z; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming after lockout. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data I/O Bus | Bi-directional 8-bit data path; carries command codes, product ID, and memory contents; supports DATA polling on I/O7 and Toggle Bit on I/O6. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ± 10% supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required within 1 cm of pin. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling during erase/program cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte boot block (3C000–3FFFFH) protected via 6-cycle command; prevents accidental overwrite of critical startup code while allowing runtime updates to parameter and main memory blocks. |
| 5V-Only In-System Reprogrammability | Eliminates need for 12 V programming supplies; enables firmware upgrades over JTAG, UART, or SPI host interfaces using standard 5V system rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF020-90-4C-NHE | 2 Mbit, 90 ns access, 3.3 V core (5 V tolerant I/O); no boot block lockout; 100,000 write cycles. | Lacks hardware boot protection and 12 V override; requires level-shifting in pure 5 V systems. | Select if lower power (18 mA active) and higher endurance outweigh boot security needs. |
| MX29LV020TC-90G | 2 Mbit, 90 ns, 3 V operation only; boot block size differs (8K vs 16K); no RESET-based override. | Not pin-compatible; incompatible voltage domain; requires redesign of power and interface circuitry. | Choose only for new 3 V designs where Atmel's 5 V ecosystem compatibility is unnecessary. |
Compared with SST39VF020-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV020TC-90G, the AT49F002T-90JI uniquely delivers 5 V-only operation with hardware-enforced boot block security and 12 V override-critical for industrial firmware integrity where voltage rail simplification and field-recoverability are design requirements.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F002T-90JI?
The boot block for AT49F002T-90JI occupies address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes), distinct from the AT49F002(N) variant's 00000H–03FFFH mapping. This layout places boot code at the top of the memory map, simplifying linker script configuration and enabling hardware-assisted protection against accidental overwrite in the AT49F002T-90JI.
Does AT49F002T-90JI support 12 V programming on the RESET pin?
Yes, AT49F002T-90JI supports 12 V ± 0.5 V applied to the RESET pin to override boot block lockout-enabling chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming of the protected region. This feature is explicitly documented for AT49F002T variants and is not available on AT49F002N(T) or AT49F002NT derivatives.
How does DATA polling work on AT49F002T-90JI?
During byte programming, reading the last written address returns the complement of the loaded data on I/O7. Once programming completes, true data appears on all I/O lines. This allows host firmware to poll I/O7 without fixed delays-AT49F002T-90JI asserts valid data immediately upon tBP completion, enabling tight timing control in real-time update routines.
What package type is used for AT49F002T-90JI?
AT49F002T-90JI uses a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016 AE), with dimensions 18.5 × 18.5 mm and 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 9 is designated DC (do not connect), and the index notch identifies pin 1-confirmed in Atmel's official ordering information and packaging drawings.
Is AT49F002T-90JI pin-compatible with AT49F002-90JI?
No-AT49F002T-90JI and AT49F002-90JI are not pin-compatible due to differing boot block address mapping and RESET functionality. The AT49F002T-90JI locates its boot block at 3C000H–3FFFFH and supports 12 V RESET override, whereas AT49F002-90JI uses 00000H–03FFFH and lacks RESET-based override. Both share identical pinout and package but differ in internal memory organization and feature enablement.
